MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
SERVICE PROCEDURES
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury,
before servicing windrower or
opening drive covers:
1. Fully lower the header and reel. If necessary
to service in the raised position, always
engage header lock and reel props.
2. Disengage PTO.
3. Stop engine and remove key.
4. Engage park brake.
5. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Park on level surface when possible. Block
wheels securely if windrower is parked on an
incline. Follow all recommendations in your
Tractor Operator's Manual.
Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair.
Never wear dangling items such as scarves or
bracelets.
Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant soles,
a hard hat, protective glasses or goggles and
heavy gloves.
Be prepared if an accident should occur. Know
where the first aid kit and fire extinguishers are
located and how to use them.
Keep the service area clean and dry. Wet or
oily floors are slippery. Wet spots can be
dangerous when working with electrical
equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and
tools are properly grounded.
Use adequate light for the job at hand.
Replace all shields removed or opened for
service.
Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength,
design or safety requirements.
Keep the machine clean. Never use gasoline,
naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning
purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.
BELTS: When installing a new belt, never pry over
pulley. Loosen the necessary components to allow
easy installation, then adjust tension to the
minimum required to prevent slipping.
